Most other wasps that have green on them are not a true green, and instead only appear green due to what is called "structural color"— the micro-make up and surface of the scales reflect light to make it appear that color as opposed to true pigment, which is a chemical mix that results in the color. This is why so many green wasps (and birds for that matter) have a metallic sheen to them, as the angle the light hits at will also effect the perceived color.

painting a cat for my grandma's birthday, which is tomorrow and I'm once again fashionably late

spent one hour and a half applying the masking fluid on the whiskers, because I kept applying it too thick/shaky etc, removing it, accidentally removing the perfectly good whisker right next to it, and having to start over, so you get a process pic just for that
